Is it possible?
I've spent an hour or so searching the forums and playing with OTT guides, but haven't seen a way to do it yet.
I'm talking about using pro elves, and I want to be able to use my blitz to blast through defenders instead of dodging. |

I just saw someone doing it the other day when I was speccing. He used the blitz to take out one of the defenders in the line 3 squares from the end (instead of trying to dodge through). It was very cool. |

It is possible. I just saw someone do it. Very neat. The key is to set players around behind the 3 LOS victims, and use the first block on defender A to push into defender B into a gap u leave for him.

did they have a quick snap though? that's the only way i can think of to get around the defenders and push them into your players to set up the OTT without using the blitz |

You need a way to get a opposite player surrounded by yours. Without:
- a Blitz
- a Quick Snap
- Frenzy
- Grab
- 11 Movement
You can't do. |

It is possible, but you would have to have a high movement scoring player to make it work, since you would need to run a lot of your own players behind the LoS to make the chain pushes work, therefore leaving them unable to do any of the pushing themselves.
And obviously it works very well when you get a quick snap. |

As Grod mentioned. You block an opponent on the LoS into his buddy who gets chainpushed into the gap you left for him. Only drawback here is, that it only works if your opponent has his guys spaced tightly. |

Not very clear but assume the x's are offensive team, and the T's are defensive. The but x can push the T above it into the middle T, which them get's pushed into the offensive half. You can then push from there. I think you would require a MA9 scorer to make it work |

With frenzy (or a _really_ silly defencive setup) it can be done.
EDIT:I need to re-think this. |

@ enar: care to offer an example?
@freak: yeah, i think i got to that stage too, managed to find a way it would work for MA9. still trying to push for MA8 though
***edit
i found a way to do it. if i had 13 players, or the opposition sets up stupidly... |

Sorry I don't remember which game it was. It was almost certainly a FC match, and it was certainly an Elven team of some sort. I don't suppose that narrows it down enough though...

MA9 will do, and a not so smart opponent. MA8 and frenzy, obviously. |

I am sorry, but the "not so smart opponent" is not fair. Most coaches use 3 players together on the LOS plus a line 3 squares back from the end-zone. Against that, it works perfectly. Also, you can go as low as MA 6, even without frenzy (google for a youtube video).
